Mining Law

We have extensive experience, both domestically and internationally, in resource property acquisitions and dispositions by way of option, purchase, or joint venture, and we can assist you in negotiating, drafting or reviewing such resource property agreements. Specifically, we have experience in handling the negotiation and preparation of exploration option and joint venture agreements, mining leases, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, royalty agreements, mine operating agreements, and smelter and refining contracts, as well as completing due diligence enquiries, title searches, title reports, and compliance with environmental protection legislation and developing environmental protection policies for our clients. We handle the transfers and registrations of mineral claims, Crown granted mineral claims, and other mineral property interests.
